Kolkata/Jhargram: CM Mamata Banerjee on Saturday said if Trinamool is voted into office, it will recognise both the Sari and Sarna religions, report Dwaipayan Ghosh and Sujoy Khanra. “Some people are trying to create division among followers of the Sari and Sarna religions. Don’t do it,” she said, adding: “We have passed a law in the assembly to recognise these religions. We have requested Delhi several times, but they did nothing. They only come to seek votes during the polls.”Asserting that BJP’s manifesto was “full of lies,” Banerjee said implementing UCC means that such a “manufactured religion” will cause faith to be obliterated.“I have heard that people from the Lodha and Sabar communities have been subjected to atrocities. You cannot display symbols without permission. The EC is not taking any action. Symbols have been forcefully installed on the houses of people from these communities. In Burdwan, many people from the Lodha and Sabar communities have been deleted from the voters’ list,” Banerjee said.
